Around the edge of Gibbet Hill...
...past the old and well-maintained railway station at North Brentor....
...and into the little hamlet of North Brentor. Stopping to have a closer look inside the church.
We then took the footpath which goes due south through the fields to South Brentor .
Then through the narrow lane before heading up to the top of Brent Tor.
We partly retraced our steps taking the more direct route over Wortha Mill Bridge where there were once two railway lines owned by two different railway companies. The owner of the old Wortha Mill invited us into his garden to show us the old leat and water wheel which he had reconstructed. By the side of it are these two old cottages in much need of refurbishment.
Lunch was at the Mary Tavy Inn and not without incident. The waitress managed to spill vinegar all over him before he attempted to spill diet coke over me. A bit of a mixup in the kitchen over the orders but the food was very good when it eventually arrived.
With Ann, Stella, Brenda, Jane, Linda, Rosemary, Bill, Ian and Terry.
